My name is Dee, I hope you like me, if you don’t the block button is free.
As somebody who produces content (with a full time job so not as often as I like) it’s so much harder to get engagement on mastodon without the algorithm tbh. I’m trying to get my name out there but engagement is slim to none compared to say, Instagram. I’m not on Twitter but both BlueSky and Mastodon have been a struggle. I don’t see myself devoting too much energy into them as far as posting content goes tbh.
There is a fediverse version of YouTube already called PeerTube. But people are finding it’s incredibly expensive to host video streaming servers and is a large part why it hasn’t really taken off.
At first I thought this might be an overreaction to be perfectly honest. But I just read through some of the Dev responses in the AMA… what the fuck is the issue with removing exploding heads from join-lemmy??
The other questions on the development itself weren’t awesome but wow that comment chain about join-lemmy is something else.
I could overlook the CCP support if they keep it on their instances but funneling people into an instance like that… I’m not sure how to feel about Lemmy either TBH.
but its a little intimidating haha.
Welcome to GURPS, there’s a lot lol
Any recommendations for me to bring to a oneshot night to show why Gurps is neat?
That’s hard to pinpoint for me, honestly. The thing that makes GURPS neat is how it can be used for any setting you can imagine, so it’s difficult to try and encapsulate that in a single session IMO. I’d try to find out what the group prefers as far as setting goes and then choose based on that. If you’re running it for strangers then just pick what setting you prefer.
This is a handy resource for a full listing of GURPS one-shot adventures. On that page you can see which setting each one shot is in for a general flavor of what you’d be running. Searching that site for articles tagged with GURPS will also get you some more results listed chronologically.
If you’re REALLY intimidated or at least worried your players might be, you can always start with GURPS Lite too. Although, that’s for 4th edition.
Ha, I didn’t even realize it was out.
That’s what happens when the core DC audience rejects the movie because you refuse to recast the garbage human that’s playing the protagonist. As an Enby, Ezra makes me even more angry because when you mention non-binary they’re typically the first celebrity that comes to mind for a lot of people. I’m glad that they’re likely never going to be able to land any more large movies like this.
Found my new favorite science communicator, she did such an awesome job here! I’ll have to check out the rest of her videos because she seems to cover a lot of different science topics.
Before everyone freaks out, this has zero impact on our communities. Chill.
They can already do this by bringing content from Mastodon to Meta platforms via links and screen grabs, this only speeds up the process.
Personally, I love that they’re not federating day one. Because I don’t want any instances I use to federate with them, I don’t want to be connected to a Meta platform unless I deliberately go to a Meta platform to use it.
To expedite the process, Mastodon instances should just defederate from them entirely. Don’t let them access that data through ActivityPub. They can build their own platform on the Fediverse and we can have our network of smaller connected instances.
Them doing this does not affect our communities unless we let it. Defederate from them and we can go on our merry way and they can have their own ad laden instance that’s not connected.
Everyone, relax. Continue building your communities here and ignore Meta in their unconnected instances.
I’m fully aware of that thanks, I was responding to:
And saying from the perspective of a content creator, that’s an issue that’s hard to overlook. So mastodon won’t get to that point of having all the content creators if there isn’t something to help them share their content. I don’t know what the solution would be, maybe a separate feed with an algorithm that people can switch to if they want.
Edit: and the antisocial comments below is why mastodon will never take off with the larger population and therefore never really compete with Twitter, Threads, or BlueSky for content.
